I can't think of Reg's wife's name and I'm too lazy to start all over again!

I would genuinely like to see more of these housemates. I'm not comfortable with all the 'send them home, they're dull, they're boring' posts; because we have literally seen nothing of them! I tell a lie - we've had brief glimpses of both Daniel and Scoop and, from what I've seen, I think they're both potentially interesting.

Chris - nada. Mrs. Reg - nada. Gail, the martyr act only. I find that tiresome, but, of course, there's probably lots more that the edit is ignoring.

I'm in the position that I can't stand (in roughly this order) Austin, James, Farrah, Jenna and Janice; please PLEASE can we see something of the others?

Hiya.

It's Sherrie Hewson. I agree with your post entirely. I'm not liking this CBB very much at all.

All it appears to be is Farrah and Jenna getting upset and confrontational over goodness knows what. When they start talking and shouting I lose the plot halfway through and wonder what on earth they are wittering on about.

I forget poor Gail and Chris are there at all for the most part.

Good morning Patsy I agree - well not sure about Reg's wife, I presume reg is a soap star and Sherrie was his wife - or is Reg Mr Porn Anywho (so annoying misuse of this word) I have watched a few Live Feeds and I think Daniel and Chris should be given a chance - Chris started what appeared to be quite a deep conversation but editing cut straight to Batman and Robin again. Lets have more tasks where we can laugh - planting custard pies at each other - or having them slip on a banana would be good old fashioned fun especially with bobby in there. Tired tired tired and again tired of arguments - nastiness - down right being rude. Make me laugh Big Brother

Sorry; I feel really rude for that OP. Of course it's Sherrie.

There are two specific problems I have with Farrah in particular. She's quite competent at being dogmatic without making much sense. She says lots of words; but the sum of their parts is fairly incoherent. It's kind of funny if you just listen to her waffle in isolation. I cut her just a smidgen of slack because that bitch Austin has been gunning for her from the off and he's obnoxious.

The second point is more general. The arguments would be well and good (and can be highly entertaining in moderation) if we had a better balance of hm and mood. More of the less confrontational housemates and a couple of lighter/funny moments. I don't find Austin's whining about his hamstring 'hilarious' as others do. I'm quite confident that all of the hms I've listed in the OP (and probably also Bobby) have the life experience and theatrical skills to be GENUINELY funny at times throughout the day. We need to see these moments to take the edge off all the rowing.



Deefs!! xxx I use anywho too Loving Batman and Robin, by the way

I know we disagreed on Marc, but God did he make me laugh I watch BB for a mixture of and . I'll take x 3 and But I don't want x 17.

No need to be sorry Patsy. Every time I read someone referring to Chris as Burnside I kept thinking 'who the hell is that.' LOL!

I blame my age

The trouble is that over the past few years its become obvious that the producers are only interested in showing rows and fauxmances and anything else is edited out of existence

I agree with you all - no surprises there though I found the hour of live feed 20 x more entertaining last night than the highlight show. The live feed had a bit of drama, some humour - Bobby Davro's remark about knocking a tomato off the shopping budget (or wtte) genuinely made me laugh - and we saw another side of Farrah surprisingly ... she was knuckling down and playing her role in the task, even being quiet for a spell

I have seen more of Daniel and Davro (a potential comedy act there ) on live feed than on the highlight show and want to see more, we even saw some Sherrie and Chris being quite funny**. Nearly every housemate was covered, in fact. It was more enlightening and definitely more entertaining than the main show.

ETA: added ** part

A couple of nights ago when Janice was rowing with someone she said 'lets speak to Bobby, he can sort it'. I turned to my husband and said 'whose Bobby'? Then I saw Bobby Davro walk into the room. I hadn't seen him since he entered the house, and I certainly haven't seen him doing anything Prime Minister (ish). Its silly that you only get to see the americans at the moment, and the rows are boring me.

BB may as well stand for Bloody Bickering these days

To be fair those people who keep calling Chris "Burnside" (myself included) are showing their age as he hasn't played the role since 2000

I don't really know who he is in all honesty. From what I'm gleaning was he in The Bill?

I would like to see more of Daniel and Scoop.
Gail and Sherrie seem like the 'under the radar' type housemates who do nothing but float to the final.

It's no use forgetting a housemate's name and then referring to Reg as if we have any more idea who Reg is!

Mind, I didn't know which housemate Chris was when I saw a thread about him here the other day. I now know he's an actor but had never seen him before and still don't know what his surname is.

It's the poorest CBB I can remember in some time. I'm bored by the clashes of insubstantial personalities. Austin vs Farrah, Jenna vs Janice, there's just not much to it. At least Davidson vs Nolan, Hopkins vs Hilton, Busey vs Jordan, Jordan vs Harrison, etc, had something about them. There was a least a little meat in the sandwich and the people involved had some opinions and I actually understood their animosity/rivalry. This year all I hear is 'wha wha wha' from the "big personalities".

And the people mentioned in the OP who at least have the potential to be interesting if given the chance, simply aren't. Scoop tried to have an interesting conversation once but was warned off for being a public menace.

Totally agree with Patsy, Monday night I think Sherrie said only 1 sentence and Chris said nothing at all ... very sorry but those Americans are taking over- as usual -

I'd like to see more of them too, thought not so much the Loose Woman (Sherrie).

As I just said in the ratings thread, I'd (especially) like to see more of Scoop and Gail. They're the most interesting ones in there, it seems to me. It's also possible that Bobby or Chris or the Baldwin could be interesting. I'd like to see more of them and a LOT less of Farrah, Jenna, Janice, Austin, and the other guy (James).

Re any claims that they're dull or boring, I find the likes of Jenna and Farrah and Co dull and boring; it's just that I find them very irritating -- NOT entertaining -- at the same time.

That's right

At least BB let them have the interesting conversation first, and put it in the highlights too.


I've thought the live show was pretty good until last night, which I thought was terrible. I'm not interested in seeing another side to Farrah at this point. Indeed, I'd rather it weren't seen, since it may help to keep her in and feed the myth that BB is editing against her.


I usually like -- even prefer -- the Americans in CBB. But not this time.

The sooner Farrah and Jenna and Austin are gone, the better. Yesterday would not be too soon. I'd like to be rid of Janice too, but not quite so much.

If Austin goes Jame would have no other storyline

Who's Chris

Kudos for remembering his name patsy but you missed out Davro. Him and The Baldwin guy were a hoot on live feed last night I thought.

I'm not really bothered about more from Gail tbh Not too sure about Sherrie but she was amusing on LF last night too.

I definitely want more of Scoop though, he seems fun and interesting.

He can go too.

Not unless one is watching the re-rubs on Watch

. It was on 2 years ago with him in it!

The current repeats on Watch are from 2007 and the repeats on Drama are from 2004

I saw Sherrie in an episode of this old sitcom on ITV3 this afternoon

She became a main cast member for the 5th and final series
